I used to pack an Asus netbook with a solid state hard disk and never had a problem. One thing to note though: If you are flying with SAA (or going through JNB at all, with any airline) at any point in your trip, I remind you their baggage policy:
- 23KG economy
- 30KG business or gold
- A certain sense of entitlement to any valuable items in your checked in bag.
(Edit: And that includes DVDs, leather belts, new shoes and cameras, as well as laptops.)
